In the Covid-19 Pandemic, many higher education institutions adopted remote classes to maintain social distance and ensure the continuity of studies during this period. This article presents the development process and initial evidence of the validity of the Scale Experiences Associated with Remote Instruction, which had three steps: 1) construction of 20 items derived from interviews and adaptation of a scale of mastery of skills to use new technologies. After evaluation by judges, the scale had 1 5 items distributed in two dimensions (self-discipline and technological mastery); 2) application of the scale to 971 university students, from 17 public and private institutions, enrolled in face-to-face courses that adopted remote classes during the pandemic. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses indicated a two-factor structure with 10 items and good psychometric and fit indicators; 3) test of the measure's relationship with the constructs of attitudes towards distance education and professional development; and comparison between groups of students with or without previous experience in e-learning. A positive relationship with both variables was confirmed, in addition to identifying higher scores of adaptation to remote instruction among students who already had some experience with e-learning. The results allow recommending the use of the developed scale, with indications of possible theoretical and practical contributions from the adoption of the measure.
